PEPE ESCOBAR: WAR PORN: THE NEW SAFE SEX

(This is the much-abridged version of a conference at the XII Seminar of
Political Solidarity at the University of Zaragoza, Spain, March 27, 2012.)

The early 21st century is addicted to war porn, a prime spectator sport
consumed by global couch and digital potatoes. War porn took the limelight on
the evening of September 11, 2001, when the George W Bush administration
launched the "war on terror" - which was interpreted by many of its
practitioners as a subtle legitimization of United States state terror against,
predominantly, Muslims.

This was also a war OF terror ~ as in a manifestation of state terror pitting
urban high-tech might against basically rural, low-tech cunning. The US did not
exercise this monopoly; Beijing practiced it in Xinjiang, its far west, and
Russia practiced it in Chechnya.

Like porn, war porn cannot exist without being based on a lie ~ a crude
representation. But unlike porn, war porn is the real thing; unlike crude,
cheap snuff movies, people in war porn actually die ~ in droves.

The lie to finish all lies at the center of this representation was definitely
established with the leak of the 2005 Downing Street memo, in which the head of
the British MI6 confirmed that the Bush administration wanted to take out
Iraq's Saddam Hussein by linking Islamic terrorism with (non-existent) weapons
of mass destruction (WMD). So, as the memo put it, "The intelligence and
facts were being fixed around the policy."

In the end, George "you're either with us or against us" Bush did
star in his own, larger-than-life snuff movie ~ that happened to double as the
invasion and destruction of the eastern flank of the Arab nation. THE NEW GUERNICA

Iraq may indeed be
seen as the Star Wars of war porn - an apotheosis of sequels. Take the (second)
Fallujah offensive in late 2004. At the time I described it as the new
Guernica. I also took the liberty of paraphrasing Jean-Paul Sartre, writing
about the Algerian War; after Fallujah no two Americans shall meet without a
corpse lying between them. To quote Coppola's Apocalypse Now, there were
bodies, bodies everywhere.

The Francisco Franco in Fallujah was Iyad Allawi, the US-installed interim
premier. It was Allawi who "asked" the Pentagon to bomb Fallujah. In
Guernica ~ as in Fallujah ~ there was no distinction between civilians and
guerrillas: it was the rule of "Viva la muerte!"

United States Marine Corps commanders said on the record that Fallujah was the
house of Satan. Franco denied the massacre in Guernica and blamed the local
population - just as Allawi and the Pentagon denied any civilian deaths and
insisted "insurgents" were guilty.

Fallujah was reduced to rubble, at least 200,000 residents became refugees, and
thousands of civilians were killed, in order to "save it" (echoes of
Vietnam). No one in Western corporate media had the guts to say that in fact
Fallujah was the American Halabja.

Fifteen years before Fallujah, in Halabja, Washington was a very enthusiastic
supplier of chemical weapons to Saddam, who used them to gas thousands of
Kurds. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) at the time said it was not
Saddam; it was Khomeinist Iran. Yet Saddam did it, and did it deliberately,
just like the US in Fallujah.

Fallujah doctors identified swollen and yellowish corpses without any injuries,
as well as "melted bodies" ~ victims of napalm, the cocktail of
polystyrene and jet fuel. Residents who managed to escape told of bombing by
"poisonous gases" and "weird bombs that smoke like a mushroom
cloud ~ and then small pieces fall from the air with long tails of smoke behind
them. The pieces of these strange bombs explode into large fires that burn the
skin even when you throw water over them."

That's exactly what happens to people bombed with napalm or white phosphorus.
The United Nations banned the bombing of civilians with napalm in 1980. The US
is the only country in the world still using napalm.

Fallujah also provided a mini-snuff movie hit; the summary execution of a
wounded, defenseless Iraqi man inside a mosque by a US Marine. The execution,
caught on tape, and watched by millions on YouTube, graphically spelled out the
"special" rules of engagement. US Marine commanders at the time were
telling their soldiers to "shoot everything that moves and everything that
doesn't move"; to fire "two bullets in everybody"; in case of
seeing any military-aged men in the streets of Fallujah, to "drop
'em"; and to spray every home with machine-gun and tank fire before
entering them.

The rules of engagement in Iraq were codified in a 182-page field manual
distributed to each and every soldier and issued in October 2004 by the
Pentagon. This counter-insurgency manual stressed five rules; "protect the
population; establish local political institutions; reinforce local
governments; eliminate insurgent capabilities; and exploit information from
local sources."

Now back to reality. Fallujah's population was not protected: it was bombed out
of the city and turned into a mass of thousands of refugees. Political
institutions were already in place: the Fallujah Shura was running the city. No
local government can possibly run a pile of rubble to be recovered by seething
citizens, not to mention be "reinforced". "Insurgent
capabilities" were not eliminated; the resistance dispersed around the 22
other cities out of control by the US occupation, and spread up north all the
way to Mosul; and the Americans remained without intelligence "from local
sources" because they antagonized every possible heart and mind.

Meanwhile, in the US, most of the population was already immune to war porn.
When the Abu Ghraib scandal broke out in the spring of 2004, I was driving
through Texas, exploring Bushland. Virtually everybody I spoke to either
attributed the humiliation of Iraqi prisoners to "a few bad apples",
or defended it on patriotic grounds ("we must teach a lesson to
"terrorists"). I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM

In thesis, there is an approved mechanism in the 21st century to
defend civilians from war porn.

It's the R2P ~
"responsibility to protect" doctrine. This was an idea floated
already in 2001 ~ a few weeks after the war on terror was unleashed, in fact ~
by the Canadian government and a few foundations. The idea was that the concert
of nations had a "moral duty" to deploy a humanitarian intervention
in cases such as Halabja, not to mention the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the
mid-1970s or the genocide in Rwanda in the mid-1990s.

In 2004, a panel at the UN codified the idea ~ crucially with the Security
Council being able to authorize a "military intervention" only "as
a last resort". Then, in 2005, the UN General Assembly endorsed a
resolution supporting R2P, and in 2006 the UN Security Council passed
resolution 1674 about "the protection of civilians in armed
conflict"; they should be protected against "genocide, war crimes,
ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity".

Now fast-forward to the end of 2008, early 2009, when Israel ~ using American
fighter jets to raise hell ~ unleashed a large-scale attack on the civilian
population of the Gaza strip.

Look at the official US reaction; "Israel has obviously decided to protect
herself and her people," said then-president Bush.

The US Congress
voted by a staggering 390-to-5 to recognize "Israel's right to defend
itself against attacks from Gaza".

The incoming Barack
Obama administration was thunderously silent.

Only future
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "We support Israel's right to
self-defense."

At least 1,300 civilians ~ including scores of women and children ~ were killed
by state terror in Gaza. Nobody invoked R2P. Nobody pointed to Israel's graphic
failure in its "responsibility to protect" Palestinians. Nobody
called for a "humanitarian intervention" targeting Israel.

The mere notion that a superpower ~ and other lesser powers ~
make their foreign policy decisions based on humanitarian grounds, such as
protecting people under siege, is an absolute joke.

So already at the
time we learned how R2P was to be instrumentalized.

It did not apply to
the US in Iraq or Afghanistan.

It did not apply to
Israel in Palestine.

It would eventually
apply only to frame "rogue" rulers that are not "our
bastards" ~ as in Muammar Gaddafi in Libya in 2011.
"Humanitarian" intervention, yes; but only to get rid of "the
bad guys."

And the beauty of R2P was that it could be turned upside down
anytime. Bush pleaded for the "liberation" of suffering Afghans ~ and
especially burqa-clad Afghan women ~ from the "evil" Taliban,
in fact configuring Afghanistan as a humanitarian intervention.

And when the bogus links between al-Qaeda and the non-existent WMDs were
debunked, Washington began to justify the invasion, occupation and destruction
of Iraq via ... R2P; "responsibility to protect" Iraqis from Saddam,
and then to protect Iraqis from themselves.

THE KILLER AWOKE BEFORE DAWN

The most recent
installment in serial episodes of war porn is the Kandahar massacre, when,
according to the official Pentagon version (or cover up) an American army
sergeant, a sniper and Iraqi war veteran ~ a highly trained assassin ~ shot 17
Afghan civilians, including nine women and four children, in two villages two
miles apart, and burned some of their bodies.

Like with Abu Ghraib, there was the usual torrent of denials from the Pentagon ~
as in "this is not us" or "we don't do things these way";
not to mention a tsunami of stories in US corporate media humanizing the
hero-turned-mass killer, as in "he's such a good guy, a family man".
In contrast, not a single word about The Other ~ the Afghan victims. They are
faceless; and nobody knows their names.

A ~ serious ~ Afghan enquiry established that some 20 soldiers
may have been part of the massacre ~ as in My Lai in Vietnam; and that included
the rape of two of the women. It does make sense. War porn is a lethal, group
subculture ~ complete with targeted assassinations, revenge killings,
desecration of bodies, harvesting of trophies (severed fingers or ears),
burning of Korans and pissing on dead bodies. It's essentially a collective
sport.

US "kill teams" have deliberately executed random, innocent Afghan
civilians, mostly teenagers, for sport, planted weapons on their bodies, and
then posed with their corpses as trophies. Not by accident they had been
operating out of a base in the same area of the Kandahar massacre.

And we should not forget former top US commander in Afghanistan, General
Stanley McChrystal, who in April 10, 2010, admitted, bluntly, "We've shot
an amazing number of people" who were not a threat to the US or
Western civilization.

The Pentagon spins and sells in Afghanistan what it sold in Iraq (and even way
back in Vietnam for that matter); the idea that this is a
"population-centric counter-insurgency" - or COIN, to "win
hearts and minds", and part of a great nation building project.

This is a monumental lie. The Obama surge in Afghanistan - based on COIN - was
a total failure. What replaced it was hardcore, covert, dark war, led by
"kill teams" of Special Forces. That implies an inflation of air
strikes and night raids. No to mention drone strikes, both in Afghanistan and
in Pakistan's tribal areas, whose favorite targets seem to be Pashtun wedding
parties.

Incidentally, the CIA claims that since May 2010, ultra-smart drones have
killed more than 600 "carefully selected" human targets - and,
miraculously, not a single civilian.

Expect to see this war porn extravaganza celebrated in an orgy of upcoming,
joint Pentagon-Hollywood blockbusters. In real life, this is spun by people
such as John Nagl, who was on General David Petraeus' staff in Iraq and now
runs the pro-Pentagon think-tank Center for New American Security.

The new stellar macho, macho men may be the commandos under the Joint Special
Operations Command (JSOC). But this a Pentagon production, which has created,
according to Nagl, an "industrial strength counter-terrorism killing
machine".

Reality, though, is much more prosaic. COIN techniques, applied by McChrystal,
relied on only three components; 24-hour surveillance by drones; monitoring of
mobile phones; and pinpointing the physical location of the phones from their
signals.

This implies that anyone in an area under a drone watch using a cell phone was
branded as a "terrorist", or at least "terrorist
sympathizer". And then the focus of the night raids in Afghanistan shifted
from "high value targets" ~ high-level and mid-level al-Qaeda and
Taliban - to anyone who was branded as helping the Taliban.

In May 2009, before McChrystal arrived, US Special Forces were carrying 20
raids a month. By November, they were 90 a month. By the spring of 2010, they
were 250 a month. When McChrystal was fired ~ because of a story in Rolling
Stone (he was competing with Lady Gaga for the cover; Lady Gaga won) ~ and
Obama replaced him with Petraeus in the summer of 2010, there were 600 a month.
By April 2011, they were more than 1,000 a month.

So this is how it works. Don't even think of using a cell phone in Kandahar and
other Afghan provinces. Otherwise, the "eyes in the sky" are going to
get you. At the very least you will be sent to jail, along with thousands of
other civilians branded as "terrorist sympathizers"; and intelligence
analysts will use your data to compile their "kill/capture list" and
catch even more civilians in their net.

As for the civilian "collateral damage" of the night raids, they were
always presented by the Pentagon as "terrorists". Example; in a raid
in Gardez on February 12, 2010, two men were killed; a local government
prosecutor and an Afghan intelligence official, as well as three women (two of
them pregnant). The killers told the US-North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) command in Kabul that the two men were "terrorists" and the
women had been found tied up and gagged. Then the actual target of the raid
turned himself in for questioning a few days later, and was released without
any charges.

That's just the beginning. Targeted assassination ~ as practiced in Afghanistan
~ will be the Pentagon's tactic of choice in all future US wars.

PASS THE CONDOM, DARLING

Libya was a major
war porn atrocity exhibition ~ complete with a nifty Roman touch of the
defeated "barbarian" chief sodomized in the streets and then
executed, straight on YouTube.

This, by the way, is exactly what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a
lightning visit to Tripoli, had announced less than 48 hours before the fact.
Gaddafi should be "captured or killed". When she watched it in the
screen of her BlackBerry she could only react with the semantic earthquake
"Wow!"

From the minute a UN resolution imposed a no-fly zone over Libya under the
cover of R2P, it became a green card to regime change. Plan A was always to
capture and kill Gaddafi ~ as in an Afghan-style targeted assassination. That
was the Obama administration official policy. There was no plan B.

Obama said the death of Gaddafi meant, "the strength of American
leadership across the world".

That was as
"We got him" (echoes of Saddam captured by the Bush administration)
as one could possibly expect.

With an extra bonus. Even though Washington paid no less than 80% of the
operating costs of those dimwits at NATO (roughly $2 billion), it was still
pocket money. Anyway, it was still awkward to say, "We did it",
because the White House always said this was not a war; it was a
"kinetic" something. And they were not in charge.

Only the hopelessly naïve may have swallowed the propaganda of NATO's
"humanitarian" 40,000-plus bombing which devastated Libya's
infrastructure back to the Stone Age as a Shock and Awe in slow motion. This
never had anything to do with R2P.

This was R2P as safe sex ~ and the "international community" was the
condom.

The
"international community", as everyone knows, is composed of
Washington, a few washed-up NATO members, and the democratic Persian Gulf
powerhouses of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), plus the House of Saud
in the shade. The EU, which up to extra time was caressing the helm of
Gaddafi's gowns, took no time to fall over themselves in editorials about the
42-year reign of a "buffoon".

As for the concept of international law, it was left lying in a drain as filthy
as the one Gaddafi was holed up in. Saddam at least got a fake trial in a
kangaroo court before meeting the executioner (he ended up on YouTube as well).
Osama bin Laden was simply snuffed out, assassination-style, after a
territorial invasion of Pakistan (no YouTube ~ so many don't believe it).
Gaddafi went one up, snuffed out with a mix of air war and assassination. They
are The Three Graceful Scalps of War Porn.

SWEET EMOTION

Syria is yet
another declination of war porn narrative. If you can't R2P it, fake it.

And to think that all this was codified such a long time ago. Already in 1997,
the US Army War College Quarterly was defining what they called "the
future of warfare". They framed it as "the conflict between
information masters and information victims".

They were sure "we are already masters of information
warfare ~ Hollywood is 'preparing the battlefield' ~ Information destroys
traditional jobs and traditional cultures; it seduces, betrays, yet remains
invulnerable ~Our sophistication in handling it will enable us to outlast and
outperform all hierarchical cultures ~ Societies that fear or otherwise cannot
manage the flow of information simply will not be competitive. They might
master the technological wherewithal to watch the videos, but we will be
writing the scripts, producing them, and collecting the royalties. Our
creativity is devastating."

Post-everything information warfare has nothing to do with geopolitics. Just
like the proverbial Hollywood product, it is to be "spawned" out of
raw emotions; "hatred, jealousy, and greed ~ emotions, rather than
strategy".

In Syria this is exactly how Western corporate media has scripted the whole
movie; the War College "information warfare" tactics in practice. The
Syrian government never had much of a chance against those "writing the
scripts, producing them, and collecting the royalties".

For example, the armed opposition, the so-called Free Syrian Army (a nasty
cocktail of defectors, opportunists, jihadis and foreign mercenaries) brought
Western journalists to Homs and then insisted to extract them, in extremely
dangerous condition, and with people being killed, via Lebanon, rather than
through the Red Crescent. They were nothing else than writing the script for a
foreign-imposed "humanitarian corridor" to be opened to Homs. This
was pure theater ~ or war porn packaged as a Hollywood drama.

The problem is Western public opinion is now hostage to this brand of
information warfare. Forget about even the possibility of peaceful negotiations
among adult parties. What's left is a binary good guys versus bad guys plot,
where the Big Bad Guy must be destroyed at all costs (and on top of it his wife
is a snob bitch who loves shopping!)

Only the terminally naïve may believe that jihadis - including Libya's NATO
rebels - financed by the Gulf Counter-revolution Club, also known as Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) are a bunch of democratic reformists burning with
good intentions. Even Human Rights Watch was finally forced to acknowledge that
these armed "activists" were responsible for "kidnapping,
detention, and torture", after receiving reports of "executions by
armed opposition groups of security force members and civilians".

What this (soft and hard) war porn narrative veils, in the end, is the real
Syrian tragedy; the impossibility for the much-lauded "Syrian people"
to get rid of all these crooks - the Assad system, the Muslim
Brotherhood-controlled Syrian National Council, and the mercenary-infested Free
Syrian Army.

LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF CHAOS

This ~ very partial
~ catalogue of sorrows inevitably brings us to the current supreme war porn
blockbuster ~ the Iran psychodrama.

2012 is the new 2002; Iran is the new Iraq; and whatever the highway, to evoke
the neo-con motto, real men go to Tehran via Damascus, or real men go to Tehran
non-stop.

Perhaps only underwater in the Arctic we would be able to escape the
cacophonous cortege of American right-wingers - and their respective European
poodles - salivating for blood and deploying the usual festival of fallacies
like "Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map", "diplomacy has run
its course", "the sanctions are too late", or "Iran is
within a year, six months, a week, a day, or a minute of assembling a
bomb". Of course these dogs of war would never bother to follow what the
International Atomic Energy Agency is actually doing, not to mention the
National Intelligence Estimates released by the 17 US intelligence agencies.

Because they, to a great extent, are "writing the scripts, producing them,
and collecting the royalties" in terms of corporate media, they can get
away with an astonishingly toxic fusion of arrogance and ignorance ~ about the
Middle East, about Persian culture, about Asian integration, about the nuclear
issue, about the oil industry, about the global economy, about "the
Rest" as compared to "the West".

Just like with Iraq in 2002, Iran is always dehumanized. The relentless,
totally hysterical, fear-inducing "narrative" of "should we bomb
now or should we bomb later" is always about oh so very smart bunker
buster bombs and precision missiles that will accomplish an ultra clean
large-scale devastation job without producing a single "collateral
damage". Just like safe sex.

And even when the voice of the establishment itself ~ the New York Times ~
admits that neither US nor Israeli intelligence believe Iran has decided to
build a bomb (a 5-year-old could reach the same conclusion), the hysteria
remains inter-galactic.

Meanwhile, while it gets ready ~ "all options are on the table",
Obama himself keeps repeating ~ for yet another war in what it used to call
"arc of instability", the Pentagon also found time to repackage war
porn. It took only a 60-second video now on YouTube, titled Toward the Sound
of Chaos, released only a few days after the Kandahar massacre.

Just look at its
key target audience: the very large market of poor, unemployed and politically
very naïve young Americans.

Let's listen to the mini-movie voice over:

"Where chaos
looms, the Few emerge. Marines move toward the sounds of tyranny, injustice and
despair ~ with the courage and resolve to silence them. By ending conflict,
instilling order and helping those who can't help themselves, Marines face down
the threats of our time."

Maybe, in this Orwellian universe, we should ask the dead Afghans urinated upon
by US Marines, or the thousands of dead in Fallujah, to write a movie review.
Well, dead men don't write. Maybe we could think about the day NATO enforces a
no-fly zone over Saudi Arabia to protect the Shi'ites in the eastern province,
while Pentagon drones launch a carpet of Hellfire missiles over those thousands
of arrogant, medieval, corrupt House of Saud princes. No, it's not going to
happen.

Over a decade after the beginning of the war on terror, this is what the world
is coming to; a lazy, virtually worldwide audience, jaded, dazed and distracted
from distraction by distraction, helplessly hooked on the shabby atrocity
exhibition of war porn.

Anon 3 April, 2012 12:09 AM is off topic in order to distract from the topic which is unjust wars and the False Flag Black Operation which is 911 by Israel and the needed response of the United States military wiping Israel off the map, just as John F. Kennedy had planned.

a) one among many perversions of mind and soulb) the singularity in which these many perversions manifest in a singular group of people, who then claim themselves to be above any and all reproach, while demanding the entire world - not part of their tribes, accept this false claim

one tired trick of hasbara is to post extreme statements; e.g.

"the needed response of the United States military wiping Israel off the map" and

"The only proper response to Israel is its elimination forever."

the hasbara having thus planted speech calling for genocide can then report to her command center that then proceeds to have the website censored and ultimately shut down as one which promotes "hate speech"

as you have apparently ignored the many statements by editor of this site regarding non-violent means of solving problems - you would not make such a loaded statement, other than as a set up - as you have done

not to mention, your comments are those of a racial supremacist - the worst of such and most hypocritical such racial supremacists belong to the "tribes of the chosenites"

tell us what is a

"False Flag Black Operation" - ?

beside being a double negative - meaning it is nothing but gibberish and an attempt to deceive and distract readers

@ Toscano 3 April, 2012 11:45 AM

and for this time and only this time, i fully agree with your fellow hasbara troll

you are a hasbara troll for posting nothing related to the topic (re-read your hasbara troll guide, you fail)

**********These pro-Israel people like pledges: they tried to force me to sign a pledge of loyalty to Israel. When I refused, it was trench warfare, hand to hand combat every day I was in the Congress, and the U.S. people never knew that I was fighting to remain independent for them. To make real peace and to find real justice. Here, they have the whole of the U.S. government making pledges to them!!! Unbelievable. ~ Cynthia McKinney, PhD**********

WORDS AND WARNINGS OF WICKEDNESS

"If [Jews] are as wise as they claim to be, they will labour to make Jews American, instead of labouring to make America Jewish. The genius of the United States of America is Christian in the broadest sense, and its destiny is to remain Christian. This carries no sectarian meaning with it, but relates to a basic principle which differs from other principles in that it provides for liberty with morality, and pledges society to a code of relations based on fundamental Christian conceptions of human rights and duties." ~ Henry Ford

“It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.” ~ Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Chapter 11

**********

The real God of the Universe does not have “Chosen” in the first place because he is perfect as we understand and predilection is a human weakness. The Jews invented the OT to fool humanity as always. The real God of the Universe does not send any body to kill, destroy his own creation, to rape, to maim, to create misery and havoc on other people. Don’t you get it? the God in the OT is a monster, is another one of the many Gods in the dessert, those sacrifices offered to God are Satanic as their name and the Jews keep offering sacrifices to their God. Last year they immolated thousands of human beings in Gaza to their God Baal, Moloch, Azazel, Satan, Lucifer. ~Isaas, TUT

"I had been asked to sign a pledge for Israel when I first became a candidate for Congress and after refusing to do so my congressional career became trench warfare, hand to hand combat just to remain in the congress.

"Himself a Jew, Marx has around him, in London and France, but especially in Germany, a multitude of more or less clever, scheming, agile, speculating Jews ~ such as Jews are everywhere: commercial or banking agents, writers, politicians, reporters for newspapers of all shades, with one foot in the bank and the other in the socialist movement, and with their arses sitted upon the German daily press ~ they have taken possession of all the newspapers ~ and you can imagine what kind of sickening literature they produce. Now, this entire Jewish world, which glut a single profiteering sect, a nation of blooksuckers, a single gluttonous parasite closely and intimately interlinked not only across national borders, but across all differences of political opinion ~ this Jewish world today stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and, at the same time, at the disposal of Rothschild.

**********

This may seem strange. What can there be in common between Communism and the largest banks? Ho-ho! The Communism of Marx seeks an enormous centralization of the state, and where such exists, there must inevitably be a central state bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, which profiteers from the labour of others, will always find a way to prevail. In reality, for the proletariat, this would be a barrack regime, under which the working men and the working women, converted into a uniform mass, would rise, fall asleep, work, and live at the beat of the drum." ~ Bakunin (1814-1876)

They also acknowledged that the Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the Citizens of the U.S. of America and future generations is needed.

You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.' ~ John Swinton, former Chief of Staff, The New York Times, 1953

WHAT TALMUDICS THINK

Historically, Jews had always thrived in nations and empires with multicultural, pluralistic and tolerant environments, while they fared badly in strong ethnic or nationalistic societies. European Jews have always been the emblematic stranger or ‘other’. Therefore, by definition, a society where the stranger is welcome is good for the Jews, although they have not always appreciated this link. The future of European Jewry is dependent on our ability to shape a multicultural, pluralistic and diverse society. ~ Göran Rosenberg, Jewish author and journalist

**********

American Jews are committed to cultural tolerance because of their belief ~ one firmly rooted in history ~ that Jews are safe only in a society acceptant of a wide range of attitudes and behaviors, as well as a diversity of religious and ethnic groups. It is this belief, for example, not approval of homosexuality, that leads an overwhelming majority of U.S. Jews to endorse ‘gay rights’ and to take a liberal stance on most other so-called ‘social’ issues. ~ Charles Silberman, Jewish writer and journalist

**********

The Jew … Judaizes … he provokes religious indifference, but he also imposes on those whose faith he destroys, his own concept of the world, of morality, and of human life. The Jews detests the spirit of the nation in the midst of which they live. ~ Bernard Lazare

Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity. The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists. ~ Noel Ignatiev, Harvard Magazine, Sep-Oct 2002

We intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as ‘the white race’ is destroyed, not ‘deconstructed’ but destroyed.

Even if reason tells us, even shouts with all its force the very absurdity of this confrontation between the small and insignificant people of Israel [i.e., all Jewry worldwide, not just “the State of Israel”] and the rest of humanity… as absurd, as incoherent and as monstrous as it may seem, we are engaged in close combat between Israel and the Nations ~ and it can only be genocidal and total because it is about our and their identities. ~ Yitzhak Attia, Israel Magazine, April 2003

REVENGE OF THE JEWISH RABBIS OF SPAIN In 1492 CE, Chemor, chief Rabbi of Spain, wrote to the Grand Sanhedrin, which had its seat in Constantinople, for advice, when a Spanish law threatened expulsion (after the fall of Muslim rule in spain).

This was the reply:

” Beloved brethren in Moses, we have received your letter in which you tell us of the anxieties and misfortunes which you are enduring. We are pierced by as great pain to hear it as yourselves. The advice of the Grand Satraps and Rabbis is the following:

1. As for what you say that the King of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise. 2. As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs. 3. As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries, that they may take away Christians’ lives. 4. As for what you say of their destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches. [Emphasis mine] 5. As for the many other vexations you complain of: arrange that your sons become advocates and lawyers, and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged on them. 6. Do not swerve from this order that we give you, because you will find by experience that, humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power.

(Signed) PRINCE OF THE JEWS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.” ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---- The reply is found in the sixteenth century Spanish book, La Silva Curiosa, by Julio-Iniguez de Medrano (Paris, Orry, 1608), on pages 156 and 157, with the following explanation: “This letter following was found in the archives of Toledo by the Hermit of Salamanca, (while) searching the ancient records of the kingdoms of Spain; and, as it is expressive and remarkable, I wish to write it here.” ~ vide, photostat facing page 80. ~ The above was quoted from Waters Flowing Eastward by Paquita de Shishmareff, pp. 73-74

**********

“[1] When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, and he clears away many nations before you ~ the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you ~ [2] and when the Lord your God gives them over to you and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy” (Deut 7:1-2).

**********

"Compassion towards the wicked is really wickedness. It is along these lines that Rabbi Levi opened his speech in honor of Purim: (Talmud, Megillah, 11a): "If you do not uproot the inhabitants of the Land, and allow them to remain - they will become thorns in your sides, and will cause trouble for you in the Land in which you dwell." (Bamidbar 33:55) The mitzvah, then of wiping out Amalek [Palestinians], actually stems from the value of compassion and kindness - compassion on all those whom Amalek threatens to exterminate. This mitzvah is an ongoing one, and valid even today. Today, too, there are those ~ driven by a deep-seeded anti-Semitism - who desperately wish to kill us. These are the people whom the Torah commanded us to obliterate, to leave no memory of them." ~ Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed

**********

Nachman Abramovic demonized Palestinian children stating: “They may look young to you, but these people are terrorists at heart. Don’t look at their deceptively innocent faces, try to think of the demons inside each of them. I am absolutely certain these people would grow to be evil terrorists if we allowed them to grow. Would you allow them to grow to kill your children or finish them off right now? Honest and moral people ought to differentiate between true humans and human animals. We do kill human animals and we do so unapologetically. Besides, who in the West is in a position to lecture us on killing human animals. After all, whose hands are clean?”

"Wars are the Jews’ harvest, for with them we wipe out the Christians and get control of their gold. We have already killed 100 million of them, and the end is not yet." ~ Chief Rabbi in France, in 1859, Rabbi Reichorn

"The Communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism." ~ Rabbi Harry Waton, A Program for the Jews and Humanity, p. 143-144

**********

If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there. ~ Moed Kattan 17a

**********

The Jewish people as a whole will become its own Messiah. It will attain world domination by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order, the “children of Israel” will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled in which it is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands. ~ Baruch Levy in a letter to Karl Marx.

Gentiles exist only to serve Jews as slaves. Goyim were only born to serve us. Without that they have no place in the world. Only to serve the people of Israel. Why are gentiles needed? They are only here to work. They will work, they will plow. They will reap. We will sit like effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created,” Rabbi Yosef, Sha Party, Jerusalem Post, 2011

**********

"An example of the use of the Jewish code words Esau and Jacob is found in a sermon preached by Rabbi Leon Spitz during the Purim observances in 1946 (quoted here from the American Hebrew of March 1, 1946) : "Let Esau whine and wail and protest to the civilized world, and let Jacob raise his hand to fight the good fight. The anti-Semite . . . understands but one language, and he must be dealt with on his own level. The Purim Jews stood up for their lives. American Jews, too. must come to grips with our contemporary anti-Semites. We must fill our jails with anti-Semitic gangsters. We must fill our insane asylums with anti-Semitic lunatics. We must combat every alien. Jew-hater. We must Harass and prosecute our Jew-baiters to the extreme limits of the laws. We must humble and shame our anti-Semitic hoodlums to such an extent that none will wish or dare to become (their) 'fellow-travelers'.

**********

This is what Trotsky, a Jew, was preparing for the Russians for the implementation of Communism, which Marx based on the Babylonian Talmud for Gentiles:

"We should turn Her (Russia) into a desert populated with white Niggers. We will impose upon them such a tyranny that was never dreamt by the most hideous despots of the East. The peculiar trait of that tyranny is that it will be enacted from the left rather than the right and it will be red rather than white in color.

Its color will be red literally because we would spill such torrents of blood that they will pale all human losses of the capitalist wars and make the survivors shudder.

Remember my children, that all the earth must belong to us Jews, and that the gentiles, being mere excrements of animals, must possess nothing. ~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild on his deathbed, 1812

The largest overseas banks will cooperate with us most closely. If we win the Revolution and squash Russia, on the funeral pyres of its remains we will strengthen the power of Zionism and become a power the whole world would drop in the face of on its knees. We will show the world what real power means.

By way of terror and blood baths we will bring the Russian intelligentsia into a state of total stupor, to idiocy, to the animal state of being. So far our young men dressed in leather ~ the sons of watch repair men from Odessa and Orsha, Gomel and Vinnitza ~ oh, how beautifully, how brilliantly do they master hatred of everything Russian! With what a great delight do they physically destroy the Russian intelligentsia ~ officers, engineers, teachers, priests, generals, agronomists, academicians, writers!" ~ Secret Forces in History of Russia. U.K. Begunov 1995, p 148

One of the finest things ever done by the mob was the Crucifixion of Christ. Intellectually it was a splendid gesture. But trust the mob to bungle the job. If I’d had charge of executing Christ, I’d have handled it differently. You see, what I’d have done was had him shipped to Rome and fed him to the lions. They could never have made a saviour out of mincemeat!”~ Rabbi Ben Hecht

"You have not begun to appreciate the depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom of not merely the latest Great War, but of every other major revolution in your history.

We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it. Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours if we had left you alone." ~ Marclis Eli Ravage, Century Magazine February, 1926.

Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property (that’s you and your children) in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a charge back for our fiat paper currency.

Every American will be forced to register or suffer being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges.

They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability.

After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debts to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. This will inevitably reap us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud, which we will call “Social Insurance.”

Without realizing it, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to foment this plot against America.” ~ American traitor, the Jew Edward Mandell House giving a very detailed outline of the New World Order plans that were to be implemented gradually over time to enslave the American people ... A PLAN THAT HAS BEEN REPEATED IN CANADA, AUSTRALIA, BRITAIN AND ELSEWHERE.

"You throw a little Jewish on top of that, you got trouble. You got a bunch of wild, crazy energy.

"Sorry that doesn't sound hippie. Sorry that doesn't sound like communal jubilant fun. Sorry I'm not a Pepper. Sorry I didn't pop out of a soda-pop ad, and life is just one big fucking cabaret, because a lot of what propelled Van Halen, what compels me and propels me is precisely this element. It's fury. If you approach me with anti-Semetic preconceptions, I'm not here to re-educate. I come from a whole different school of thought. If you don't get it on the first try, fuck you.

"Every step I took on that stage was smashing some Jew-hating, lousy punk ever deeper into the deck. Every step. I jumped higher 'cause I knew there was going to be more impact when I hit those boards. And if you were even vaguely anti-Semetic, you were under my wheels, motherfucker. That's where the lyrics came from, that's where the body language came from, that's where the humor came from, and where the fuck you came from. All equally as important. You want to know the ingredients? Don't ask if you don't want to know.

"What you get from repression and what you get from hatred is fury, and fury was one of the main trigger points for the great Van Halen. What you see now is a bunch of buffoons waddling around at the family barbecue, and their wives admonishing the children saying, "Don't worry, Daddy's just had a few too many Coors Lights and he's imitating what he used to do for a living when he played music, honey."

"What's missing is the testosterone. What's missing is the fury. What's missing is the passionate convicted commitment. And I got a lot of mine from my religious background. So y'all best stop imagining the way Dr. Zorba looked, or some defenseless Hasidic Jew with a little yarmulke on his head, 'cause that ain't here for you." ~ David Lee Roth

Does worship of the Talmud pervade Judaism globally? Herman Wouk, Orthodox Jew and famed author of The Cain Mutiny, affirms, “The Talmud is to this day the circulating heart’s blood of the Jewish religion. Whatever laws, customs, ceremonies we observe ~ whether we are Orthodox, Reform,Conservative, or merely spasmodic sentimentalists ~ we follow the Talmud. It is our common law.”

Sen. Al Franken: One of the widely disseminated stories was that no Jews died in the collapse of the Trade Towers because they had received calls telling them not to go to work that day.

To tell you the truth, I got the Jew call. I had an office in the Trade Center where I used to do most of my writing. The call came from former New York mayor Ed Koch. “Al,” he told me, “don’t go to work on the twenty-third day of Elul [September 11, 2001.].”

Tell me, do the evil men of this world have a bad time? They hunt and catch whatever they feel like eating. They don’t suffer from indigestion and are not punished by Heaven. I want Israel to join that club. Maybe the world will then at last begin to fear us…Maybe they will start to tremble, to fear our madness instead of admiring our nobility. Let them tremble, let them call us a mad state. Let them understand that we are a wild country, dangerous to our surroundings, not normal, that we might go crazy, that we might go wild and burn all the oil fields in the Middle East, or that we might start World War Three just like that. ~ Ariel Sharon
